View Full Version : Beta testing

I'm looking for a few (A FEW!) good men (and women).

The job? To test out the new version of Kid Mystic.

The rewards? Get to play it for free before it's released, and get a free copy when it IS released, any appropriate custom forum title of your choice (in place of "Cool Dude", etc), and a stupid surprise (seriously, don't do it for the surprise). Only testers who fulfill their obligations get the rewards.

The details of the job? You'll be given access to a hidden Beta Testing forum, you should post there your findings, be they good, bad, or ugly. If you're not posting at least once every few days, you're out! It shouldn't take long to test this game, a couple weeks should be all it takes. I won't be adding lots of suggestions, just fixing bugs and balance.

The application?
-------------------------------
Name:
Forum name:
Age: (anybody over 25 can just say Big Kid if they are shy about it!)
Prior experience with Kid Mystic: (I'm looking for a mix here)
Qualifications: (Explain here why you would do a good job testing. I've had amazingly great testers, and I've had AWFUL testers. This is the most important line to fill out well!)
-------------------------------

How to send the application? E-mail it to me at jamul@hamumu.com ... don't post it or you won't be picked! Part of the concept is to see if you can actually follow directions. It's a surprisingly rare ability.

I'll only be accepting a small number, so if you don't get picked, it's not because you're horrible or because I'm a cantankerous old coot, it's just the luck of the draw.

Sign up!

I found a bug! When you use the cheat that gives you all the firepower, it says "Ultra Hammer Up."

Sent, but I doubt I'll get the chance to test, because I've never played Kid Mystic. Sounds fun though.

P.S. Jamul, do you think this will be better than Loonlyland? I'm going to ask for a Hamumu game for Christmas, and it's down to Loonyland or this (provided you get it done in time for Christmas).

Chances are, I won't get in. Never played Kid Mystic. Beta testing would be sooooo cool though.

Maybe I should clarify: when I say I'm looking for a mix, that means I want both people who HAVE played Kid Mystic, and who HAVE NOT played Kid Mystic. I will be choosing a fairly equal number of each.

How many people are you picking?

Jamul

A small number, like I said! Just what that number is, we shall see. Less than 10.

WARNING! Get your applications in in the next few hours! I will be signing up the lucky winners tonight!

Well, I'm patient. I'll wait and see. BTW when (like what time) are you gonna post the results? I can't be on after 8:00 PM.

Jamul

I will email everyone who sent in an application, before the sun comes up in California tomorrow.

I would like to ask if I may please be a beta tester for kid mystic.
Reasons to pick me:
I just recently replayed the original for the third time.
I have tested games before, including all the ones I made myself, including the one I made yesterday.
I am a loyal and devoted Hamumu fan.
I have skillz.

sorry about the above
I can follow directions perfectly.
I just have to read them first.
And in my haste and shame for not being online enough to notice before the deadline I also forgot to login so it put me as a guest.

Shouldn't this topic be an announcement?

Also, when are the people being chosen? I live near the coast and 5:00 has come and gone.

Okay, thanks everybody, it is OVAH. Everybody who sent me an app is either in or out. We actually got so many applications, I had to pick randomly! So don't feel bad if you're out, it was random. If you haven't received a reply, then let me know, because I either never got the application or you didn't get my reply. And stick around - I might need alternates for when people flake out on me.

I only just noticed this forum. BRAAAAAAAAAH! UGH! BAH!

BAH HUMBUG

GRRRRRRRR

poo

I would have been a good beta tester... I spend most (sometimes) ALL my free time using computers and playing games..... :(

Which reminds me... Jamul, I wanna give you a game of UT 2004. I bet one million dollars I can beat you. And i hardly get lag on just a 1vs1 match.


Edit: hmm. I'll stick around too. I'm gonna send an application form just incase :) *fingers crossed*

I'll stay. When Kid Mystic supposed to be out?

Mr.Zee
09-17-2004, 06:48 PM
Mike, when you said I took priority, or something like that, does that mean that the first who drops out/is flaked out is replaced by me?

Coolguy

No. It means that if somebody flakes out and Jamul does another random pick, he'll make it so that the people who sent in an application the first time aound are more likely to get picked.
